Sharon loved her family. She took every opportunity to spend time with her kids and grandkids. She was a part of her nieces, nephews, and their kid's lives bringing love and laughter to everyone.

Babies brought her profound joy.  In her social circles, everyone knew they could let Sharon hold their baby.  The parents knew they had an extra Mom or Grandma that loved them and their children. She was very social and never knew a stranger due to her ability to connect and become fast friends.

Sharon loved Jesus and taught her kids to do the same. She served in children's ministry teaching for both school and church. She was an avid prayer warrior and loved to pray with and for people.

Her compassion for others made everyone feel welcome. Every holiday she would open her home to share with those without a place to go.  Her motto was the more the merrier.  Her passion was to serve and help others.

She loved music and dancing, shopping until she dropped, had an ornery sense of humor and a fantastic sense of fashion. Her impact and presence will be missed.
